- I think you'll find that what you'll get is nitrogen trichloride NCl3.
- (also called chloride of azode or nitrochloride) This is an oily
- substance formed from chlorine and either ammonium chloride or
- ammonium nitrate solutions. It is, as you have indicated, very explosive
- and unstable. So be careful.
